a taste of home

Sunday morning, we set out to go to church. We took a train from our station, transferred to another train and then walked the rest of the way...in the humid heat. It made me realize how very easy it is to get to our church at home! We decided to go to the English speaking ward so we could all actually understand what was said.  The church is right next to the temple.  It is in a nice residential neighborhood.  We loved to see the temple.

Of course space is hard to come by in Tokyo, so the temple is a bit small, but tall.

The church building next to the temple looks kind of like an office building.  There are 4 floors they use.  (The primary is in the very bottom.)

I thought it was kind of fun to see all the japanese names on the mailboxes, and then Tokyo English Ward in English.

It was interesting to meet people from all over who were living abroad.  Some were there for only a few years for work, and others had lived there for many years and raised their children there.  It was a little bit strange to hear everyone speak English, and look like we do.

Sure glad to be here with these guys.

It really did feel like a little oasis here.
